Prime video costs £5.99 on it's own.

There’s no point quoting past pricing for a product if it can’t be demonstrated that discounts will be available in the future.

It always drops to £59 on prime day and normally black friday too.
Also £5.99p/m is the price for Amazon video as a standalone.
I should of really though put "if you subbed on prime day" but your reply was smarky and contributed nothing to the thread.

Should have. Please don’t continue to brutalise my language. It offends my eyesight to read it.

Is there a minimum term, or can you subscribe for 1 month only?

£79 will be for the year that is all of primes services including Amazon video or £7.99p/m no min term.
Amazon video is £5.99p/m no min term but be aware that Amazon video does also have chargeable content too.
As Den kindly said too there is a free 30 day trial :)

Thanks for the info - I may give it a try when the PL comes around.

Had a look, all their premier league streams are in December so should be able to do the trial for the month and cancel - cannot see how they will make any money out of it though.

They will make their money through people taking the trial and being impressed with the service. Most of the streaming services offer free trials on that basis - this one is no different, except that Amazon offer much more than just a streaming service.

There is plenty of material on Prime that comes with no additional cost, and this includes all the Prime originals.

The chargeable content is for shows they don't have the rights to show without further payment. This can be quite useful when there is no other means of watching something you may be desperate to see in circumstances where someone else owns the rights and is not making it available for the time being.

The 'free of extra charge' Prime stuff is easy enough to identify and you always have to confirm you will pay the cost before viewing non-Prime content - you can't access it without knowing that you are paying for it.

I don't understand why some find it confusing. It seems straight forward enough to me.

Who said it was confusing? I was simply pointing out there are chargeable items on Amazon video too.
You like me lol forgot to mention Amazon channels too such as Discovery, Shudder, MGM to name a couple which are chargeable.
It is simple enough to identify what's chargeable and what isn't on the 4k fire tv box it has a very useful section labeled "included with prime" also Amazon video does some great deals on chargeable rentals too for prime members some latest releases can be rented for £1.99 which i think is superb value.
Yes Pip i know they can be got for free on kodi but if everyone went down that line then there'd be no money for new shows/movies.

I know you didn't say it was confusing, Legendkiller - that comment was not aimed at you. I have heard that argument several times recently and thought I would give my thoughts on that while also answering your post.
